Champagne 2013: The Spring Preview
By Antonio Galloni
We drink a lot of Champagne. There is no denying it. At the same time, I am amazed that for many consumers Champagne remains a wine for celebrations, special events and the holidays. It doesn’t have to be. Champagne is one of the most versatile wines at the dinner table and a great companion to a wide range of foods. I hope readers will take the plunge in discovering just how rewarding Champagne can be year-round.
